Heading out camping? Be Bear Wise! 🏕️🐻 Bears are drawn to anything that looks or smells like food, even toiletries and dirty dishes. Keep food and scented items out of your tent, store them safely in your vehicle and clean up cooking areas right away.

If you come across a fawn on its own, it’s likely not abandoned. Mother deer (does) often leave their fawns hidden nearby while they forage.
